All over the country and around the world, Naked Bike Riders fill city streets once a year with a mission:
Riding together to promote fuel conscious consumption, positive body image, and cycling advocacy!
And, of course, because it’s fun to hang out naked in public with other like-minded individuals under the gaze of passersby, who will say things like “I haven’t seen this much wienie in my whole life!” Andy and I Amtraked it down to Philly to do the ride with our friends Nick (a Philly resident) and Ben (another New Yorker).
That’s City Hall in the background, where we got our marriage license a month ago. City Hall from another view, below. And below that, a latecomer (the guy in gray briefs with his back to the camera) halfway through the ride stripped down on the street and joined the fun.
Body painting was a thing, along with masks, hats, wigs, and funny costumes (“Bare as you dare” was the dress code”).
